Mental Descend
Mental disorders are psychological patterns that are abnormal and generally led on by distress that occurs within an individual. Generally, they focus on one’s thoughts, emotions and behaviour. These disorders can impair an individual’s ability to function in life by causing extreme distress that can even lead to death. Some of the common mental disorders are depression, schizophrenia and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).
Attaining Peace of Mind
Psychiatry is a specialization that is dedicated to the medical study and treatment of mental disorders. Majority of mental disorders can be treated with the help of a psychiatrist, who is familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Physical examinations and laboratory tests are carried out to test an individual’s mental balance and state. A computed axial tomography (CT/CAT Scan) will also allow the psychiatrist to study the problems more in depth, to provide you with the right treatment and medication. Do you get sad for no reason easily? Do you harbour suicidal thoughts, suffer from emotional pain, panic, difficulty to think socialize and function? Then, it is time for you to seek the help of a psychiatrist.
